Let's wait and see what happens, and think positively. All told, Frank has not let us down so far. I know circumstances are now different now, with the divorce and all, but let's not pre-mope. We still have the core of our team - a team that has gone to the NLCS two years in a row. Lost, admittedly, but hey, you have to be in it to win it.

Pitching. We all know we need probably not just one but two SPs. Jury is still out. But I could have written the same thing last year at this point, pre-divorce, right?

For now, I think I'll head out to the mall, sit on Santa's lap, and ask for another shot in the NLCS.

And hey, if we don't get SP and the squad starts to implode, then there will be easier access to concession stands and, therefore, beer.

At least the Angels signed Rodney. Still getting no respect. . . boy, I tell ya, it's rough. Rough I tell ya.Guy comes up to me and asks if I have any naked pictures of my wife. I tell him, "No."He says, "Wanna see some."
